Me too, but, I stocked up on mesh and cotton from All Day Vapes afterwards... which now makes up for it.

As for tips and tricks: I don't use it myself, it is in the arsenal of Mrs Chuck Norris Lungs at 35-40W with 50/50 12-18mg Freebase juice. I have tried Muji, Dart King, Dischem cotton, tinfoil around the cotton for her. As for the other cottons, she did not like the taste it gave off and it was back to Hellvape Cotton for her. The foil did help, for about a day.

With the higher power and heat and 50/50 juice it makes the juice run through eventually cause seeping (not condensation) in both the R Tank and the PnP pods. The only thing that seemed to help with the R Tank is placing the mesh as low down as possible on the cotton before wrapping it around the coiling rod, therefore having more cotton poking out above the mesh. That way it seals more on the top end against the rubber seal inside the chimney and less chance of leaking. The cotton then gets wet and expands more making a seal up top.

I can't comment on DL juice (70/30 and the likes), but MTL juice takes about 2 to 3 days before it starts seeping into the bottom. A little bit of daily maintenance and cleaning makes it livable and on her vaping style it takes about 5 to 6 days before I have to change the cotton out. Still cheaper than paying R60-R80 for a stock coil every week.
 
I mix at 65/35 and have no leaking/condensation issues. Having said that it is always in rotation so it doesn't sit. I use the Hellvape cotton.

Mrs Chuck Norris Lungs probably gets good flavour at only 35-40W because of the high PG.

It's a love/hate relationship for her.. the flavor vs the bit of leaking (that she does not have to fix)... win win for her...

Maybe we should do a group buy of this? USD 42

I'm in for a SS one... 95 weeks worth of mesh and cotton for $42 and you get a matching tank for free...
 
The tank fits nicely on a SMOK Prince stick mod. I am sure by this time everyone who had the kit tossed the rubbish tank by now. The coil handles the fixed volts perfectly.

However, the DR-R does not handle high VG juice very well. I am not getting dry hits, it is just very muted, even 75/25 is a dry vape. Most likely a 60/40 will do the trick. I would blame the cotton they provide, I've even scraped the top and bottom layers off, which did improve the wicking and taste, but only marginally. It is very thick, and not designed for max VG. I would want to try out Japanese pads next.

The idea behind this tank is great. But I totally agree - it needs other types of mesh, and the idea of a different sized tool for changing the inner diameter would be grand. And for me, different types of cotton, or at least make it peelable.

Grand idea, fairly well executed, but to me [[personally]], in the end, it is a mediocre vape. There are just too many atomizers out there that is so much better.

If you have troubles building, get leaking and just don't have a mentor to assist, but want to build coils (ie save money by not buying stock coils) get an RDTA. And no don't get the Arbiter (love it) or Zeus (hate it) or OBS Engine (despise it, again, all just my opinion) - they will all leak if built improper or if the build has been left too long, just not to the outside, but a mouth full of juice is as unfavourable as a desk full juice.

If you live in Cape Town, as you do, you have several mentors at your disposal. Just go to a vape meet. Very experienced vapers who are always willing to help.

Wrt the Dead Rabbit R, I nominate @Raindance as the resident expert. If you come to a vape meet he will happily show you whatever you need to know. You can also pick @KZOR 's brain. He is without a doubt the most experienced all-round expert in SA (reviewer, coil maker and builder, juice mixer, B&C consumer etc).

You got nothing to loose.

Pop off to Dischem and get yourself these cotton pads.
Cut 2 strips to same size as dead rabbit strips.
Place together and wick (don't peel off outer edges, use as is)

Right now I have absolutely no leaks using these on 70/30 juice.
Even let it stand for 2 days and no leaks.
It might just work with the 50/50.

It'd be awesome if you could post a video. My attempt with Muji cotton was a massive failure!

When I stopped vaping years ago I gave away a big bag of muji... I can kick myself now:facepalm: (Had I known I was going to go back to vaping I would never have gotten rid of it)

@Rivera - Flavor on cotton pads were good for me when I used to use them.
 
I thought long and hard about this DR R tank,

Then I pitstopped the Tauren solo, stuck it on the Furyan.

That Dead rabbit can stay roadkill for me.

I ordered a big bag from AliExpress to test out their "free shipping" option... it has arrived in RSA after 2 months and now I wait and see if it will ever arrive at my door... I don't have high hopes, but if it does I can pass some on to @Rivera if still needed.

You can however get some from local shops in smaller quantities. Here is one that stocks, there are others too: https://www.afrivape.co.za/muji-japanese-organic-cotton-pads
 
Looks good, fits perfectly, great taste and bubbles galore!

One thing I found is that the cotton takes quite a while to properly absorb the juice - I'm running 70/30 juice. Filled it last night, left it 10mins and it was okay, but this morning after a decent time it was properly absorbed and the juice now really starts to shine

I find flavour slightly better as it wicks better
Just on that note I find these strips perform at their best at 52 watts.
Give the 52 watts as try
